Our Grading System

Many of you have asked about the difficulty of the treks which we organise at Pudu Puda Travel, both in terms of customised itineraries and fixed-date expeditions. Here's how we grade our treks:

Grade I

Grade II

Suitable for anyone with average level of fitness and can walk for 6 hours with a light day pack (including breaks)

Grade III

Suitable for anyone with above average level of fitness as days can involve more than 6 hours of trekking in remote and rugged terrain, in sometimes adverse weather conditions

Grade IV

Suitable for anyone with high level of fitness as days can involve more than 8 hours of trekking in remote and rugged terrain, adverse weather conditions, long multi-day expedition of more than 10 days and / or high altitudes

Grade V

Prior experience with multi-day mountaineering, and the use of rope and crampons is required
